Description
Announcing the WORD for WORDcast! San Francisco’s Word for Word Theater Company brings works of literature to the stage. We use every word of a text in a dynamic, evocative style that preserves the original beauty of the prose or poetry. The new WORD for WORDcast brings us out of the theater and onto your airwaves and smartphones! The debut episodes feature “The Machine Stops” by E.M. Forester. Written in 1909, this is a dystopian look at the future, where everyone lives underground, is controlled by “The Machine,” and communicates with each other over vast distances through glowing blue plates. The first installment premiers on September 17, 2020.
